Example Sentences
"Perhaps it was the knowledge that once the meat was koshered, salted, quartered, and began to sizzle in crispy, golden-fried onion, what would inevitably follow was the scent of the most aromatic saffron-infused tahchin rice — a heavenly scent that continues to evoke the warmth and laughter of family Shabbat dinners."
